It's upsetting to see this flagged for no understandable reason to me other than not liking the scientists rebellion's politics. The documents they leaked are vitally important given the immediate dangers of climate change. Whether you think their philosophy is extreme or not, it can't be denied that suppressing the sharing of leaked information from the IPCC is stifling the understanding to this crisis. Their language is extreme, but that is a result of the inaction and severity of the crisis. We have less than 10 years to completely change the global economic system to stave off the worst possible outcomes, civilization wide collapse. That is extreme, and it does no favors to not be alarmist about a situation so alarming. Maybe you don't agree with them, but instead of harping on their language as proving your point, try reading the report they leaked instead of flagging it
